As I was making these I was dreaming of the cabin, the lake, sunbathing, a gentle breezy blowing my hair….

And then I realized I was in Minnesota and it’s the middle of February. Depressing. This cookie tastes like summer. It makes me want summer. Why do I live in Minnesota?

It’s time for another Secret Recipe Club reveal date! And this little recipe is the lucky one I choose. It’s from the lovely blog Authentic Suburban Gourmet. She has a ton of yummy recipes and quite the variety, but when I was scrolling down her home page and found these Lemon Crinkle Cookies I knew I need not look any farther. They were calling my name.

I was doubtful that my hubby would like these and I didn’t think he was a lemon fan. He got all excited when he walked in the door to me making this dough. He was disappointed when I told him that he probably wouldn’t like them. Then he had to test a little dough…he got a huge grin on his face and said they taste just like orange sherbet but lemon sherbet if they made that…ya know Julie … ya know? Then after they came out of the oven he couldn’t stop shoving them in his mouth. SUCCESS!

2. In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Whip in vanilla, egg, lemon zest and juice. Scrape sides and mix again. Stir in all dry ingredients slowly until just combined, excluding the powdered sugar. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly. Pour powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet and press lightly to flatten slightly and repeat with remaining dough.

3. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms begin to barely brown and cookies look matte {not melty or shiny}. I found 10 minutes was perfect. Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.

Makes between 2 and 3 dozen cookies depending on the size. Highly recommend doubling this recipe!

Glad that you liked these cookies and your hubby enjoyed them too. They are quite addictive and I too found myself having a hard time limiting it to one. Nice to meet you via SRC and glad to be part of the club with you. Look forward to exploring your site!

hahaha that’s a shame since in my country it has been raining and it’s cold all day I also miss those summer days and I can’t wait to try this recipe I must say that I wasn’t a lemon lover person but I made some ricotta and lemon cookies a while back and now I can’t stop making them

YUMMY! My husband is a lemon fiend and I made a batch of cookies really similar to these about a month ago – he devoured them so fast and asked me how soon I could bake another batch. LOL Great to be part of Group C with you.
